In addition, Operating Costs shall include any Real Estate Taxes as defined in Paragraph 2.1 hereof. Operating Costs shall also include, without limitation, the repair and replacement, resurfacing and repaving of any paved areas, curbs, gutters or other surfaces or areas within the Complex, the repair and replacement of any equipment or facilities located within or serving the Complex, and the cost of any capital repairs, replacements or improvements made by Lessor to the Complex ("Capital Costs"). However, certain Capital Costs (the "RESTRICTED CAPITAL COSTS") shall be includable in Operating Costs each year only to the extent of that fraction allocable to the year in question calculated by amortizing such Restricted Capital Costs over the reasonably useful life of the improvement resulting therefrom, as determined by Lessor, with interest on the unamortized balance at the higher of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum; or (ii) the interest rate as may have been paid by Lessor for the funds borrowed for the purpose of performing the work for which the Restricted Capital Costs have been expended, but in no event to exceed the highest rate permissible by law. The Restricted Capital Costs subject to such amortization procedure are the following: (x) those costs for capital improvements to the Complex of a type which do not normally recur more frequently than every five (5) years in the normal course of operation and maintenance of facilities such as the Complex (specifically excluding painting of all or a portion of the Complex); (y) costs incurred for the purpose of reducing other operating expenses or utility costs, from which Lessee can expect a reduction in the amounts it would otherwise expend, or reimburse Lessor, and (z) expenditures by Xxxxxx that are required by governmental law, ordinance, regulation or mandate, including, without limitation, any Environmental Laws (as such term is defined in Article 12), which were not applicable to the Complex at the time of the original construction. Operating Costs shall not include legal or accounting expenses incurred expressly for negotiating a lease with a particular lessee, or as a result of a default of a specific lessee, which negotiation or default does not affect the operation of the Complex. "PROPORTIONATE SHARE" or "PRO RATA PERCENT" shall be that fraction ------------------- ---------------- (converted to a percentage) the numerator of which is the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises and the denominator of which is the number of square feet of Rentable Area of all floors (or leased premises if the Complex is on a single floor) rentable to lessees in the Complex. Lessee's Proportionate Share as of the commencement of the Term hereof is specified in Section 1.8. Said Proportionate Share shall be recalculated as may be required effective as at the commencement of any period to which the calculation is applicable in this Lease. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, Xxxxxx's Proportionate Share 7. as to certain expenses may be calculated differently to yield a higher percentage share for Lessee as to certain expenses in the event Lessor permits other lessees in the Complex to directly incur such expenses rather than have Lessor incur the expense in common for the Complex (such as, by way of illustration, wherein a lessee performs its own janitorial services). In such case Lessee's Proportionate Share of the applicable expense shall be calculated as having as its denominator the Rentable Area of all floors (or leased premises if the Complex is on a single floor) rentable to lessees in the Complex less the Rentable Area of lessees who have incurred such expense directly. Furthermore, in the event Lessee consumes extraordinary amounts of any provided utility or other service as determined in Lessor's good faith judgment, Lessee's Proportionate Share for such utility or service may, at Lessor's election, be based on usage as opposed to Rentable Area, that is, Lessee's Proportionate Share of such a utility or service would be calculated as having as its denominator the total usage of such utility or service in the Complex (or Building as the case may be), and having as its numerator Lessee's usage of such utility or service, as determined by Lessor in its sole good faith judgment. In any case in which Xxxxxx, with Xxxxxx's consent, incurs such expenses directly, Xxxxxx's Proportionate Share will be calculated specially so that expenses of the same character which are incurred by Lessor for the benefit of other lessees in the Complex shall not be prorated to Lessee. If repairs are required for systems exclusively serving the Leased Premises (whether within or outside of said Leased Premises), Lessee shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of such repair costs. Nothing herein shall imply that Lessor will permit Lessee or any other lessee of the Complex to incur any Common Area Costs or Operating Costs. Any such permission shall be in the sole discretion of the Lessor, which Lessor may grant or withhold in its arbitrary judgment. "Quadrant." Each floor of the Building is centered around the common Atrium -------- with Rentable Area being approximately divided into four unequal parts known as "Quadrant(s)" and commonly carrying identifying letters as follows: Quadrant A: Southeast of Atrium Quadrant B: Northeast of Atrium Quadrant C: Northwest of Atrium Quadrant D: Southwest of Atrium "R/U RATIO" (an abbreviation for Rentable/Usable Ratio) shall mean that --------- fraction the numerator of which is Rentable Area and the denominator of which is Usable Area. "REAL ESTATE TAXES" or "TAXES" shall mean and include all general and ----------------- ----- special taxes, assessments, fees of every kind and nature, duties and levies, charged and levied upon or assessed by any governmental authority against the Complex including the land, the Building, any other improvements situated on the land other than the Building, the various estates in the land and the Building, any Tenant Improvements, fixtures, installations, additions and equipment, whether owned by Lessor or Lessee; except that it shall exclude any taxes of the kind covered by Section 8.1 hereof to the extent Lessor is reimbursed therefor by any lessee in the Building. Real Estate Taxes shall also include the reasonable cost to Lessor of contesting 8. the amount, validity, or the applicability of any Taxes mentioned in this Section. Further included in the definition of Taxes herein shall be general and special assessments, license fees, commercial rental tax, levy, penalty or tax (other than inheritance or estate taxes) imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, as against any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in the Leased Premises or in the Complex or on the act of entering into this Lease or, as against Lessor's right to rent or other income therefrom, or as against Lessor's business of leasing the Leased Premises or the Complex, any tax, fee, or charge with respect to the possession, leasing, transfer of interest, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use, or occupancy by Lessee, of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof or the Complex, or any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, for any tax previously included within the definition of Taxes herein, or any additional tax, the nature of which may or may not have been previously included within the definition of Taxes. Further, if at any time during the Term of this Lease the method of taxation or assessment of real estate or the income therefrom prevailing at the time of execution hereof shall be, or has been altered so as to cause the whole or any part of the Taxes now or hereafter levied, assessed or imposed on real estate to be levied, assessed or imposed upon Lessor, wholly or partially, as a capital levy, business tax, fee, permit or other charge, or on or measured by the Rents received therefrom, then such new or altered taxes, regardless of their nature, which are attributable to the land, the Building or to other improvements on the land shall be deemed to be included within the term Real Estate Taxes for purposes of this Section, whether in substitution for, or in addition to any other Real Estate Taxes, save and except that such shall not be deemed to include any enhancement of said tax attributable to other income of Lessor. With respect to any general or special assessments which may be levied upon or against the Leased Premises, the Complex, or the underlying realty, or which may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds, and may be paid in annual or semi-annual installments, only the amount of such installment, prorated for any partial year, and statutory interest shall be included within the computation of Taxes for which Lessee is responsible hereunder. "RENT," "rent" or "rental" means Minimum Rent and all other sums required ---- to be paid by Lessee pursuant to the terms of this Lease. "RENTABLE AREA." The Rentable Area means the Rentable Area determined by ------------- BOMA. The Rentable Area of a floor shall mean all areas available or held for the exclusive use and occupancy of occupants or future occupants of the Complex, calculated in accordance with BOMA. No deductions shall be made for columns and projections necessary to the Building. The Rentable Area of that portion of a lessee's premises located on a floor shall be computed by multiplying the Usable Area of such premises by the R/U Ratio. The Rentable Area of the Building is the aggregate of the Rentable Area on all floors. "STRUCTURAL" as herein used shall mean any portion of the Leased Premises ---------- or Complex which provides bearing support to any other integral member of the Complex such as, by limitation, the roof structure (trusses, joists, beams), posts, load bearing walls, foundations, girders, floor joists, footings, and other load bearing members constructed by Lessor. 9. "TENANT IMPROVEMENTS" shall mean the Lessee's Work in accordance with ------------------- the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit D, if any, and all subsequent alterations to the Leased Premises made by Xxxxxx. "TERM" shall mean the term of the lease as specified in Article 4 ---- hereof, including any partial month at the commencement of the Term. "USABLE AREA." The Usable Area of any individual leased premises ----------- shall be the number of square feet calculated in accordance with BOMA; provided, however, that the term Usable Area shall include toilet rooms in each Quadrant if such toilet rooms are for the exclusive use of a lessee occupying such Quadrant. The Usable Area of a floor shall be equal to the sum of all Usable Areas on that floor. 3. PREMISES 3.1 DEMISING CLAUSE. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hires from Lessor a portion of the Complex as hereinafter defined. 3.2 DESCRIPTION. The Complex, as defined in Section 2.1, is described generally in Section 1.3(A) hereof. The premises leased herein are described in Section 1.3(B) and delineated on Exhibits C-1 and C-2, which are attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference, consisting of the approximate amount of square footage as specified in Section 1.3(C) hereof. The term "BUILDING" shall refer to the Building in which the Leased Premises are located. The portion leased herein to Lessee is hereinafter referred to as the "LEASED PREMISES." Lessee acknowledges that Lessor may change the shape, size, location, number and extent of the improvements to any portion of the Complex without consent of Lessee and without affecting Xxxxxx's obligations hereunder. Lessor reserves the area beneath and above the Leased Premises as well as the exterior thereof together with the right to install, maintain, use, repair and replace Lines, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, and structural elements leading through the Leased Premises serving other parts of the Complex, including, but not limited to, vertical risers, so long as such items are concealed by walls, flooring or ceilings. Such reservation in no way affects the maintenance obligations imposed herein, nor shall such reservation alter the parties' responsibilities and obligations set forth in this Lease regarding Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 12.3(a) below). 3.3 SUBSTITUTED PREMISES. In the event the Leased Premises consist of less than six thousand (6,000) square feet, Lessor shall have the right, at any time during the Term hereof, upon not less than ninety (90) days' prior written notice to Lessee, to substitute for the Leased Premises such other space in the Complex as shall be substantially the same size as the Leased Premises (the "SUBSTITUTED PREMISES"), Provided that Lessor shall pay all expenses of Lessee incidental to Lessee's relocation to the Substituted Premises and that Lessor shall improve the Substituted Premises for Xxxxxx's use and occupancy at least to the same extent as the Leased Premises occupied by Lessee prior to such relocation. 10. 3.4 COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS. The parties agree that this Lease is subject to the effect of (a) any covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, mortgages or deeds of trust, ground leases, rights of way of record, and any other matters or documents of record; (b) any zoning laws of the city, county and state where the Complex is situated; and (c) general and special taxes not delinquent. Lessee agrees that as to its leasehold estate, Lessee and all persons in possession or holding under Lessee will conform to and will not violate the terms of any covenants, conditions or restrictions of record which may now or hereafter encumber the property (hereinafter the "RESTRICTIONS"). This Lease is subordinate to the restrictions and any amendments or modifications thereto. 4. TERM 4.1 COMMENCEMENT DATE. The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date defined in Section 2.1 and shall be for the term specified in Section 1.4 hereof, plus any partial month at the commencement of the Term. 4.2 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COMMENCEMENT. After delivery of the Leased Premises to Lessee, Xxxxxx shall execute a written acknowledgment of the date of commencement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and by this reference it shall be incorporated herein. 5. PRE-TERM POSSESSION 5.1 CONDITIONS OF ENTRY. In the event the Leased Premises are to be constructed or remodeled by Lessor, Lessor may notify Lessee when the Leased Premises are ready for Xxxxxx's fixturing or Xxxxxx's Work, which may be prior to substantial completion of the Leased Premises by Xxxxxx. Lessee may thereupon enter the Leased Premises for such purposes at its own risk, to make such improvements as Lessee shall have the right to make, to install fixtures, supplies, inventory and other property. Xxxxxx agrees that it shall not in any way interfere with the progress of Xxxxxx's Work by such entry. Should such entry prove an impediment to the progress of Xxxxxx's Work, in Lessor's judgment, Lessor may demand that Lessee forthwith vacate the Leased Premises until such time as Xxxxxx's work is complete, and Xxxxxx shall immediately comply with this demand. During the course of any pre-term possession, whether such pre-term period arises because of an obligation of construction on the part of Lessor, or otherwise, all terms and conditions of this Lease, except for rent and commencement, shall apply, particularly with reference to indemnity by Lessee of Lessor under Article 17 herein for all occurrences within or about the Leased Premises. 6. DELAY IN DELIVERY OF POSSESSION 6.1 DELAY. If Lessor, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Lessee at the Estimated Delivery Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Lessor be liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in that event, there shall be no accrual of Rent for the period between the Estimated Delivery Date 11. and the Commencement Date. In the event Lessor cannot deliver the Leased Premises to Lessee within six (6) months beyond the Estimated Delivery Date, then Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease. In the event the Leased Premises are not delivered within three (3) years from the date of execution, this Lease shall automatically terminate. 7. MINIMUM RENT 7.1 PAYMENT. Lessee shall pay to Lessor at the address specified in Section 1.1, or at such other place as Lessor may otherwise designate, as "MINIMUM RENT" for the Leased Premises the amount specified in Section 1.5 hereof, payable in advance on the first day of each month during the Term. If the Term commences on other than the first day of a calendar month, the rent for the first partial month shall be prorated accordingly. All payments of Minimum Rent (including sums defined as rent in Section 2.1) shall be in lawful money of the United States, and payable without deduction, setoff, offset, counterclaim, recoupment, notice or demand. 7.2 ADVANCE RENT. The amount specified in Section 1.5(B) hereof is paid herewith to Lessor upon execution of this Lease as advance rent, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, provided, however, that such amount shall be held by Lessor as a "SECURITY DEPOSIT" pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof until it is applied by Lessor to the first Minimum Rent due hereunder. 7.3 LATE PAYMENT. If during any twelve (12) month period Lessee fails on more than one occasion to make any payment of Minimum Rent to Lessor on the date when it is due, then Lessor may, by giving written notice to Lessee, require that Lessee pay the Minimum Rent to Lessor quarterly in advance. 8. ADDITIONAL RENT 8.1 PERSONAL PROPERTY, GROSS RECEIPTS, LEASING TAXES. This Section 8.1 is intended to deal with impositions or taxes directly attributed to Lessee or this transaction, as distinct from taxes attributable to the Complex which are to be allocated among various lessees and others and which are included in Operating Costs. In addition to the Minimum Rent and additional charges to be paid by Lessee hereunder, Xxxxxx shall reimburse Lessor upon demand for any and all taxes required to be paid by Lessor (excluding state, local or federal personal and corporate income taxes measured by the income of Lessor from all sources, and estate and inheritance taxes) whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto: (a) Upon, measured by, or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Lessee's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in the Leased Premises or by the cost or value of any Tenant Improvements made in or to the Leased Premises by or for Lessee, regardless of whether title to such improvements shall be in Lessee or Lessor; 12. (b) Upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Lessee of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof to the extent such taxes are not included as Real Estate Taxes as defined in Section 2.1; (c) Upon this transaction or any document to which Lessee is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Leased Premises; and (d) In connection with any testing, investigation, abatement, remediation, removal, transportation and/or disposal of any Hazardous Materials by Lessee (or by Lessor, pursuant to any provision of this Lease granting to Lessor the right to do any of the foregoing and to bill Lessee therefor). For purposes of this Section 8.1, the term "taxes" shall include, but not be limited to, any fees, charges, fines, penalties and costs (including, without limitation, permit, approval or licensing fees, charges or costs). In the event that it shall not be lawful for Lessee so to reimburse Lessor, the Minimum Rent payable to Lessor under this Lease shall be increased to net Lessor (i.e., after payment of the Taxes for which Lessor may not receive reimbursement from Lessee) the amount of Minimum Rent plus reimbursement for Taxes which would have been receivable by Lessor if such tax had not been imposed. All Taxes payable by Lessee under this Section shall be deemed to be, and shall be paid as, additional Rent. 8.2 OPERATING COSTS. (a) During each calendar year or part thereof subsequent to the Base Expense Year, Lessee shall pay to Lessor as additional Rent, in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof, Xxxxxx's Proportionate Share of the total dollar increase, if any, in all Operating Costs for such calendar year over the Operating Costs for the Base Expense Year. During each tax year (July 1 through June 30) or part thereof subsequent to the Base Tax Year ending June 30, Lessee shall pay to Lessor as additional Rent, in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof, Lessee's Proportionate Share of the total dollar increases, if any, in all Real Estate Taxes for such tax year over the Real Estate Taxes for the Base Tax Year. Lessee's Proportionate Share shall be calculated on the basis of the greater of (i) actual Operating Costs; or (ii) as if the Complex were at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and operational for the whole of such Lease Year. (b) If any Lease Year of less than twelve (12) months is included within the Term, the amount payable by Lessee for such period shall be prorated on a per diem basis (utilizing a three hundred sixty (360) day year). (c) Lessor shall exercise good faith efforts to equitably allocate those Operating Costs that are incurred for the direct benefit of specific types of lessees or users in the Complex to and among those specific lessees and/or users ("Cost Pools"). Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office and showroom space, the second 13. floor Atrium, the lower level exhibition hall, and any retail space lessees of the Complex. Lessor's determination of such allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Section 8.2(c) and shall be subject to reconciliation per Section 8.3(c). Lessee acknowledges that the allocation of Operating Costs among Cost Pools does not affect all Operating Costs and is limited to specific items which Lessor determines, in good faith, should be shared among the lessees and/or users of a certain Cost Pool. 8.3 METHOD OF PAYMENT. Any additional Rent payable by Lessee under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof shall be paid as follows, unless otherwise provided: (a) During the Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor monthly in advance with its payment of Minimum Rent, one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of such additional Rent as estimated by Lessor in advance, in good faith, to be due from Lessee. (b) Annually, as soon as is reasonably possible after the expiration of each Lease Year, Lessor shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Lessee a comparative statement, which statement shall be conclusive between the parties hereto, setting forth (1) the Operating Costs for such Lease Year, and (2) the amount of additional Rent as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Article 8. (c) If the aggregate amount of such estimated additional Rent payments made by Lessee in any Lease Year should be less than the additional Rent due for such year, then Lessee shall pay to Lessor as additional Rent upon demand the amount of such deficiency. If the aggregate amount of such additional Rent payments made by Lessee in any Lease Year of the Term should be greater than the additional Rent due for such year, then should Lessee not be otherwise in default hereunder, the amount of such excess will be applied by Lessor to the next succeeding installments of such additional Rent due hereunder; and if there is any such excess for the last year of the Term, the amount thereof will be refunded by Lessor to Lessee, provided Lessee is not otherwise in default under the terms of this Lease. 9. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION 9.1 ACCEPTANCE OF PAYMENT. No payment by Lessee or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount of Minimum Rent or any other sum due hereunder, shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due rent or payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor's right to recover the balance of such rent or payment or pursue any other remedy available in this Lease, at law or in equity. Lessor may accept any partial payment from Lessee without invalidation of any contractual notice required to be given herein (to the extent such contractual notice is required) and without invalidation of any notice required to be given pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, et seq., or of any successor statute thereto. 14. 10. SECURITY DEPOSIT 10.1 Letter of Credit. ---------------- (a) On or before February 1, 1999, Lessee shall obtain and deliver to Lessor an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount shown in Section 1.6 (the "Letter of Credit") in a form acceptable to Lessor. As a material consideration for Lessor entering into this Lease Lessee shall provide the Letter of Credit to secure the performance of Xxxxxx's obligations under the terms of the Lease. Without the Letter of Credit provided by the Lessee herein Lessor would not have entered into this Lease. (b) The Letter of Credit shall be issued by the California office of either a U.S. bank or a U.S. agency of a foreign bank, authorized to conduct banking business in the State of California, which Letter of Credit shall be subject to reduction and cancellation on the terms and conditions contained below. The Letter of Credit will secure all obligations under the Lease to be performed by Xxxxxx and its Transferee(s) for the full Term hereof. The Letter of Credit may be for a period shorter than the entire Term (but not in any case for a term less than one (1) year), provided: (i) it shall be required to be renewed or replaced by delivery of a new Letter of Credit subject to the same requirements as the original (subject to any Permitted Reductions), for a period of not less than twelve (12) months, (ii) such renewal or replacement shall be required to be delivered to Lessor not later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the original Letter of Credit (or replacement or renewal, as the case may be) and, (iii) if not so renewed or replaced by delivery to Lessor, such failure shall constitute a default entitling Lessor to draw upon the existing Letter of Credit in full forthwith without notice to Lessee. 10.2 Right to Draw. Lessor shall be entitled to draw on that portion of the ------------- Letter of Credit which Lessor in good faith determines to be necessary to cure Lessee's default (or, in the event Lessor is barred by applicable law, specifically including any laws with respect to insolvency, from issuing to Lessee a default notice, Lessee's breach) of any Lease provision(s). Any such draw shall be made by Xxxxxx's written signed statement to the drawee bank of (i) a default by Lessee or its Transferee(s) under this Lease (and the passing of the applicable cure period provided in the Lease without a cure of the default, subject to the provisions of Section 10.6 below) or (ii) a breach of the Lease by Lessee with respect to which Lessor is barred by applicable law, specifically including any laws with respect to insolvency, from issuing to Lessee a default notice. No other act or notice whatsoever shall be required by Xxxxxx in order to be entitled to draw on the entire sum of the Letter of Credit. Any sums remaining after deduction by Lessor of the amounts owed by Lessee pursuant to the default or breach under this Lease shall be treated as a Security Deposit as provided in Section 10.3 below. 10.3 Payment. For purposes of this Lease, the amount of any draw under the ------- Letter of Credit shall be designated as a Security Deposit and the use of the draw thereon shall be treated as a use of the Security Deposit in the manner provided in this Article 10. The amount of the draw shall be applied to cure Lessee's default or breach and any excess shall remain the sole and separate property of Lessor until actually repaid to Lessee (or at Lessor's 15. option the last assignee, if any, of Xxxxxx's interest hereunder), Xxxxxx not being entitled to the return of said sum until all conditions precedent for its payment to Lessee have been fulfilled. As this sum both in equity and at law is Xxxxxx's separate property, Lessor shall not be required to (1) keep said deposit separate from its general accounts, or (2) pay interest, or other increment for its use, except that if the amount of the draw exceeds one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the costs incurred by Lessor to cure a Lessee default, and such unused portion of the draw is not returned to the drawee bank as set forth in section 10.5, such unused portion of the draw shall bear interest from the date of the draw at the rate set forth in Section 50.16 hereof. If Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges when due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including and not limited to Lessee's obligation to restore or clean the Leased Premises following vacation thereof, Lessee, at Lessor's election, shall (except as set forth in Section 10.5 below) be deemed not to have the right to receive those portions of draws used or applied by Lessor for the payment of any rent or other charges in default, or for the payment of any other sum to which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Xxxxxx's default, or to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer thereby. Lessor may retain the Security Deposit and draw thereupon as it reasonably deems necessary to restore or clean the Leased Premises following vacation by Lessee to the extent Lessee has such obligation under this Lease. The amount of any draw is not to be characterized as rent until and unless so applied in respect of a default by Xxxxxx. 10.4 Restoration of Deposit. If Lessor draws upon the Letter of Credit, ---------------------- Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, take such action as is necessary to require the drawee bank to issue a new Letter of Credit with a face amount equal to the pre-draw amount of the previous Letter of Credit or to reinstate the previous Letter of Credit to the full pre-draw amount, and Lessee's failure to so do shall be a material breach of this Lease. The objective of this Section 10.4 is for Lessee to restore the face amount of the Letter of Credit to the principal amount that would have existed, as of the date of any draw, had there been no default which caused the Lessor to draw upon the Letter of Credit, and Xxxxxx's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. The ten (10) day notice specified in the first sentence of this Section 10.4 shall, insofar as not prohibited by law, constitute full satisfaction of notice of default provisions required by law or ordinance. 10.5 Draws Upon Letter of Credit. The proceeds of a draw on the Letter of --------------------------- Credit shall be used by the Lessor to effect a cure of the Lessee's breach. The unexpended proceeds of the draw shall, after deducting from the amount originally drawn any costs incurred by the Lessor in curing or attempting to cure the default, be returned to the drawee bank upon receipt by Lessor of a Letter of Credit in the pre-draw amount. 11. USE 11.1 PERMITTED USE. The Leased Premises may be used and occupied only for the purposes specified in Section 1.7 hereof, and for no other purpose or purposes. Lessee shall promptly comply 16. with all laws, ordinances, orders and regulations affecting the Leased Premises, their cleanliness, safety, occupation and use. 11.2 SAFES, HEAVY EQUIPMENT. Lessee shall not place a load upon any floor of the Leased Premises which exceeds fifty (50) pounds per square foot live load. Lessor reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all safes and heavy installations which Xxxxxx wishes to place in the Leased Premises so as properly to distribute the weight thereof, or to require plans prepared by a qualified structural engineer at Xxxxxx's sole cost and expense for such heavy objects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor shall have no liability for any damage caused by the installation of such heavy equipment or safes. 11.3 MACHINERY. Business machines and mechanical equipment belonging to Lessee which cause noise and/or vibration that may be transmitted to the structure of the Building or to any other leased space to such a degree as to be objectionable to Lessor or to any Lessees in the Complex shall be placed and maintained by the party possessing the machines or equipment, at such party's expense, in settings of cork, rubber or spring type noise and/or vibration eliminators, and Lessee shall take such other measures as needed to eliminate vibration and/or noise. If the noise or vibrations cannot be eliminated, Lessee must remove such equipment within ten (10) days following written notice from Lessor. 11.4 HAZARDOUS ACTIVITIES. Lessee shall not engage in any activities or permit to be kept, used, or sold in or about the Leased Premises, any article which may be prohibited by the standard form of fire insurance policies. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with any and all requirements, pertaining to the Leased Premises, of any insurance organization or company, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering the Building and appurtenances. 12. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS 12.1 LESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS. Lessee, shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all of the requirements of all municipal, state and federal authorities now in force, or which may hereafter be in force, pertaining to the Leased Premises, and shall faithfully observe in the use of the Leased Premises all municipal ordinances and state and federal statutes and regulations now in force or which may hereafter be in force, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. sections 12101-12213 (and any rules, regulations, restrictions, guidelines, requirements or publications promulgated or published pursuant thereto, collectively herein referred to as the "ADA"), whether or not any of the foregoing were foreseeable or unforeseeable at the time of the execution of this Lease. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Lessee in any action or proceeding against Lessee, whether Lessor be a party thereto or not, that any such requirement, ordinance, statute or regulation pertaining to the Leased Premises has been violated, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Lessor and Lessee. Within five (5) days after receipt of notice or knowledge of any violation or alleged violation of any Environmental Law(s), and/or the ADA pertaining to the Complex, any governmental or regulatory proceedings, investigations, sanctions and/or actions threatened 17. or commenced with respect to any such violation or alleged violation, and any claim made or commenced with respect to such violation, or alleged violation, Lessee shall notify Lessor thereof and provide Lessor with copies of any written notices or information in Xxxxxx's possession. Lessee shall make, at Xxxxxx's sole cost and expense, any and all alterations, improvements or non-structural changes that are required by laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental regulations or requirements as a result of Lessee's specific use of the Premises or any alterations, additions or improvements made by Lessee. If any alterations, improvements or structural changes are required to be made to the Building in general or are applicable to substantially all lessees in the Building without regard to Xxxxxx's specific use of the Leased Premises or any alterations, additions or improvements made by Lessee, then Lessor shall make such alterations, additions or improvements and the costs thereof shall be included within Operating Costs pursuant to Section 2.1. 12.2 CONDITION OF LEASED PREMISES. Subject to Lessor's Work, if any, as referred to in Exhibit D to this Lease, Lessee hereby accepts the Leased Premises in the condition existing as of the date of occupancy, subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, restrictions of record, and requirements in effect during the Term or any part of the Term hereof regulating the Leased Premises, and without representation, warranty or covenant by Lessor, express or implied, as to the condition, habitability or safety of the Leased Premises, the suitability or fitness thereof for their intended purposes, or any other matter. Lessor covenants that the Lessor's Work pursuant to Exhibit D shall be in material compliance with applicable local and state building codes and ordinances in such manner that any violations or conditions of non-compliance will not result in the inability of Lessee to be issued a building permit for Xxxxxx's Work pursuant to Exhibit D ("Code Compliance"). 12.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. ------------------- (a) Hazardous Materials Defined. As used herein, the term "HAZARDOUS MATERIALS" shall mean any wastes, materials or substances (whether in the form of liquids, solids or gases, and whether or not air-borne), which are or are deemed to be pollutants or contaminants, or which are or are deemed to be hazardous, toxic, ignitable, reactive, corrosive, dangerous, harmful or injurious, or which present a risk, to public health or to the environment, or which are or may become regulated by or under the authority of any applicable local, state or federal laws, judgments, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, codes or other governmental restrictions, guidelines or requirements, any amendments or successor(s) thereto, replacements thereof or publications promulgated pursuant thereto (collectively "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS"), including, without limitation, any waste, material or substance which is: (i) defined as "hazardous waste," "extremely hazardous waste," or "restricted hazardous waste" under Sections 25115, 25117 or 25122.7, or listed pursuant to Section 25140, of the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.5 (Hazardous Waste Control Law); 18.

Lessee agrees that during the Term, -------------------------------- there shall be no use, presence, disposal, storage, generation, leakage, treatment, manufacture, import, handling, processing, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials on, from or under the Leased Premises except to the extent that, and in accordance with such conditions as, Lessor may have previously approved in writing. The use, presence, disposal, storage, generation, leakage, treatment, manufacture, import, handling, processing, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials are sometimes hereinafter individually or collectively referred to as "HAZARDOUS USE." It is further agreed that Lessee shall be entitled to use and store only those Hazardous Materials which are necessary for Lessee's business, provided that such usage and storage is in full compliance with Environmental Laws, and all judicial and administrative decisions pertaining thereto. Lessee shall not be entitled to install any tanks under, on or about the Leased Premises for the storage of Hazardous Materials without the express written consent of Lessor, which may be given or withheld in Lessor's sole arbitrary judgment. For the purposes of this Section 12.3, the term Hazardous Use shall include Hazardous Use(s) on, from or under the Leased Premises by any and all lessees, occupants, and/or users of the Leased Premises (except Lessor), whether known or unknown to Lessee, and whether occurring and/or existing during or prior to the commencement of the Term.

(ii) If there was such Hazardous Use, the exact identity of the Hazardous Materials, the dates upon which such materials were brought upon the Leased Premises, the dates upon which the Hazardous Materials were removed therefrom, and the quantity, location, use and purpose thereof. (iii) If there was such Hazardous Use, any governmental permits maintained by Lessee with respect to such Hazardous Materials, the issuing agency, original date of issue, renewal dates (if any) and expiration date. Copies of any such permits and applications therefor shall be attached. (iv) If there was such Hazardous Use, any governmental reporting or inspection requirements with respect to such Hazardous Materials, the governmental agency to which reports are made and/or which conducts inspections, and the dates of all such reports and/or inspections (if applicable) since the last Report.

If at any -------------------------------------------------------- time during the Term Lessee knows or believes that any release of any Hazardous Materials has come or will come to be located upon, about or beneath the Leased Premises, then Lessee shall immediately, either prior to the release or following the discovery thereof by Xxxxxx, give verbal and follow-up written notice of that condition to Xxxxxx. Lessee covenants to 21. investigate, clean up and otherwise remediate any release of Hazardous Materials at Xxxxxx's cost and expense; such investigation, clean-up and remediation shall be performed only after Xxxxxx has obtained Xxxxxx's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to respond immediately to an emergency without first obtaining Lessor's written consent. All clean-up and remediation shall be done in compliance with Environmental Laws and to the reasonable satisfaction of Xxxxxx. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whether or not such work is prompted by the foregoing notice from Lessee or is undertaken by Lessor for any other reason whatsoever, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, exercisable by written notice to Lessee at any time, to undertake within or outside the Leased Premises all or any portion of any investigation, clean-up or remediation with respect to Hazardous Materials (or, once having undertaken any of such work, to cease same, in which case Lessee shall perform the work), all at Lessee's cost and expense, which shall be paid by Xxxxxx as additional rent within ten (10) days after receipt of written request therefor by Lessor (and which Lessor may require to be paid prior to commencement of any work by Lessor). No such work by Lessor shall create any liability on the part of Lessor to Lessee or any other party in connection with such Hazardous Materials or constitute an admission by Lessor of any responsibility with respect to such Hazardous Materials. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that Lessee shall be liable under this Section 12.3(e) for any and all conditions covered hereby which were caused or created by any person or entity whatsoever (except Lessor) whether such condition occurred, was created or caused or existed prior to or after the execution of this Lease and/or prior to or after Xxxxxx's possession of the Leased Premises. Lessee shall not enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with respect to any claims relating to any Hazardous Materials in any way connected to the Leased Premises without first (i) notifying Lessor of Xxxxxx's intention to do so and affording Lessor the opportunity to participate in any such proceedings, and (ii) obtaining Xxxxxx's written consent. (f) Inspection and Testing by Lessor. Lessor shall have the right at -------------------------------- all times during the Term to (i) inspect the Leased Premises, as well as Lessee's books and records, and to (ii) conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Lessee is in compliance with the provisions of this Section. Except in case of emergency, Lessor shall give reasonable notice to Lessee before conducting any inspections, tests, or investigations. The cost of all such inspections, tests and investigations shall be borne by Xxxxxx, if Lessor reasonably believes them to be necessary. Neither any action nor inaction on the part of Lessor pursuant to this Section 12.3(f) shall be deemed in any way to release Lessee from, or in any way modify or alter, Lessee's responsibilities, obligations, and/or liabilities incurred pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof. 12.4 INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify, hold harmless, and, at Xxxxxx's option (with such attorneys as Lessor may approve in advance and in writing), defend Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx's officers, directors, shareholders, trustees, partners, employees, contractors, agents and mortgagees or other lien holders, from and against any and all claims, demands, expenses, actions, judgments, damages (whether consequential, direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen), penalties, fines, liabilities, losses of every kind and nature (including, 22. without limitation, property damage, diminution in value of Lessor's interest in the Leased Premises or the Complex, damages for the loss or restriction on use of any space or amenity within the Leased Premises or the Complex, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing space in the Complex, sums paid in settlement of claims and any costs and expenses associated with injury, illness or death to or of any person), suits, administrative proceedings, costs and fees, including, but not limited to, attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses, and the costs of cleanup, remediation, removal and restoration (all of the foregoing being hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "Losses"), arising from or related to any violation or alleged violation of any of the requirements, ordinances, statutes, regulations or other laws referred to in this Article, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, any breach of the provisions of this Article, or any Hazardous Use on, about or from the Leased Premises caused by the acts or omissions of any persons or entities whatsoever, whether related or unrelated to Lessee, including without limitation any Hazardous Use or release of Hazardous Materials arising, occurring or existing prior to the execution of this Lease and/or Xxxxxx's possession of the Leased Premises. Lessee warrants that it is leasing the Premises "as-is, where- is," that it has thoroughly inspected the Leased Premises prior to execution of this Lease, and that it intends to act as an insurer with respect to any Hazardous Use on, under or about the Leased Premises. 12.5 RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK. ------------------------------ (a) Lessee, for itself, and its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, agents, contractors, attorneys, brokers, servants, employees, sublessees, lessees, invitees, concessionaires, licensees and representatives (hereinafter referred to as "RELEASORS"), hereby waives, releases, acquits and forever discharges Lessor and its officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, partners, agents, contractors, attorneys, brokers, servants, employees, lessees, invitees, licensees and representatives (hereinafter referred to as "RELEASEES") of and from any and all Losses, which are in any way connected with, based upon, related to or arising out of (i) any Hazardous Use or Hazardous Materials on or about the Leased Premises or the Complex, (ii) any violation by or relating to the Leased Premises or the Complex (or the ownership, use, condition, occupancy or operation thereof), or by the Releasors or any other persons or entities, of any Environmental or Wetlands Laws affecting the Leased Premises or the Complex, or (iii) any investigation, inquiry, order, hearing, action or other proceeding by or before any governmental agency or any court in connection with any of the matters referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) above (collectively, the "RELEASED MATTERS"), except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Releasees. Releasors hereby expressly assume any and all risk of Losses based on or arising out of or pertaining to the Released Matters. (b) Xxxxxx agrees, represents and warrants that the Released Matters are not limited to matters which are known, disclosed or foreseeable, and Lessee waives any and all rights and benefits which are conferred upon Lessee by virtue of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides: 23. A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. (c) Xxxxxx agrees, represents and warrants that it is familiar with, has read, understands, and has consulted legal counsel of its choosing with respect to California Civil Code Section 1542 and Xxxxxx realizes and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to it may have given, or may hereinafter give, rise to Losses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected. Xxxxxx further agrees, represents and warrants that the provisions of this Section 12.5 have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that Xxxxxx nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit the Releasees from any such unknown Losses which are in any way related to this Lease or the Complex. 12.6 INDOOR AIR QUALITY. To prevent the generation, growth or deposit of any mold, mildew, bacillus, virus, pollen or other microorganism (collectively, "BIOLOGICALS") and the deposit, release or circulation of any indoor contaminants, including, but not limited to, emissions from paint, carpet and drapery treatments, cleaning, maintenance and construction materials and supplies, pesticides, pressed wood products, insulation, tobacco and other materials and products (collectively with Biologicals, "CONTAMINANTS"), that could adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of any tenant, employee, or other occupant of the Complex or their invitees (each, an "OCCUPANT"), Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, at all times during the Term (i) maintain, operate and repair the HVAC system servicing the Leased Premises (to the extent that Lessee is otherwise obligated to perform such maintenance, operation and repair pursuant to this Lease) in a manner consistent with preventing or minimizing the generation, growth, circulation, release or deposit of any Contaminants, (ii) maintain the humidity level and the air exchange rate within the Leased Premises (to the extent that Lessee has control thereof) at a level recommended to prevent or minimize the growth of any Biologicals and the circulation of any other Contaminants, (iii) maintain, operate and repair the Leased Premises in such a manner to prevent or minimize the accumulation of stagnant water and moisture in planters, kitchen appliances and vessels, carpeting, insulation, water coolers and any other locations where stagnant water and moisture could accumulate, and (iv) otherwise maintain, operate and repair the Leased Premises to prevent the generation, growth, deposit, release or circulation of any Contaminants. If any governmental entity or any Occupant alleges that health, safety or welfare has been or could be adversely affected by any such Contaminants, Lessee shall notify Lessor in writing within twenty- four (24) hours of the time the allegation is made. Lessor may then elect to engage the services of an industrial hygiene testing laboratory (or alternatively or concurrently require Lessee to do the same) to determine whether the cause of any alleged adverse health effect is or could be attributable to any Contaminants present within the Leased Premises.

For purposes of this Lease, the term "uninsured property loss" shall mean any loss arising from a peril not covered by the standard form of "All Risk" property insurance policy. 23.2 REPAIRS. In the event of a property loss which may be repaired within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the damage, or, in the alternative, in the event Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease under the terms of Section 23.1 above, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Lessor shall forthwith undertake to make such repairs to reconstitute the Leased Premises to as near the condition as existed prior to the property loss as practicable but not including any construction originally performed by Lessee 35. (including Lessee's Work) or subsequently undertaken by Xxxxxx, but shall include solely property constructed by Lessor (including Lessor's Work) prior to the commencement of the Term.

Lessee shall, however, not be responsible to pay any deductible or its share of any deductible to the extent that Xxxxxx's payment would be in excess of $10,000 if Xxxxxx's consent has not been received by Lessor, unless such denial of consent by Xxxxxx is unreasonable in the reasonable judgment of Xxxxxx's insurance consultant. 23.4 WAIVER. Lessee hereby waives all statutory or common law rights of termination in respect to any partial destruction or property loss which Lessor is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this Article. Further, in event of a property loss occurring during the last two (2) years of the original Term hereof or of any extension, Lessor need not undertake any repairs and may cancel this Lease unless Lessee has the right under the terms of this Lease to extend the Term for an additional period of at least five (5) years and does so within thirty (30) days of the date of the property loss. 23.5 LESSOR'S ELECTION. In the event that the Complex or Building in which the Leased Premises are situated be destroyed to the extent of not less than thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the replacement cost thereof, Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Leased Premises be injured or not, in the same manner as in Section 23.1 above. At all events, a total destruction of the Complex of which the Leased Premises form a part, or the Leased Premises itself, shall terminate this Lease. 24. CONDEMNATION 24.1 DEFINITIONS. ----------- (a) "CONDEMNATION" means (i) the exercise of any governmental power, -------------- whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by a condemnor and/or (ii) a voluntary sale or transfer by Xxxxxx to any condemnor, either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending. 36. (b) "DATE OF TAKING" means the date the condemnor has the right to -------------- possession of the property being condemned. (c) "AWARD" means all compensation, sums or anything of value ----- awarded, paid or received on a total or partial condemnation. (d) "CONDEMNOR" means any public or quasi-public authority, or --------- private corporation or individual, having the power of condemnation. 24.2 TOTAL TAKING. If the Leased Premises are totally taken by condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking. 24.3 PARTIAL TAKING: COMMON AREAS. ---------------------------- (a) If any portion of the Leased Premises is taken by condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Lessee can elect to terminate this Lease if thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) or more of the total number of square feet in the Leased Premises is taken. (b) If any part of the Common Areas of the Complex is taken by condemnation and as a consequence thereof, the Complex is not in compliance with applicable governmental codes and requirements, then Lessor shall have the election to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section. (c) If fifty percent (50%) or more of the Building in which the Leased Premises are located is taken, Lessor shall have the election to terminate this Lease in the manner prescribed herein. 24.4 TERMINATION OR ABATEMENT. If either party elects to terminate this Lease under the provisions of Section 24.3 (such party is hereinafter referred to as the "Terminating Party"), it must terminate by giving notice to the other party (the "Nonterminating Party") within thirty (30) days after the nature and extent of the taking have been finally determined (the "Decision Period"). The Terminating Party shall notify the Nonterminating Party of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than sixty (60) days after the Terminating Party has notified the Nonterminating Party of its election to terminate nor later than the date of taking. If Notice of Termination is not given within the Decision Period, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that Minimum Rent shall be reduced by subtracting therefrom an amount calculated by multiplying the Minimum Rent in effect prior to the taking by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of square feet taken from the Leased Premises and the denominator of which is the number of square feet in the Leased Premises prior to the taking. 24.5 RESTORATION. If there is a partial taking of the Leased Premises and this Lease remains in full force and effect pursuant to this Article, Lessor, at its cost, shall accomplish all necessary restoration so that the Leased Premises is returned as near as practical to its condition immediately prior to the date of the taking, but in no event shall Lessor be 37. obligated to expend more for such restoration than the extent of funds actually paid to Lessor by the condemnor. 24.6 AWARD. Any award arising from the condemnation or the settlement thereof shall belong to and be paid to Lessor except that Xxxxxx shall receive from the award compensation for the following if specified in the award by the condemning authority, so long as it does not reduce Lessor's award in respect of the real property: Xxxxxx's trade fixtures, tangible personal property, loss of business and relocation expenses. At all events, Lessor shall be solely entitled to all award in respect of the real property, including the bonus value of the leasehold. Lessee shall not be entitled to any award until Xxxxxx has received the above sum in full. 25. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 25.1 LEASE IS PERSONAL. The purpose of this Lease is to transfer possession of the Leased Premises to Lessee for Xxxxxx's personal use in return for certain benefits, including rent, to be transferred to the Lessor. Xxxxxx's right to assign or sublet as stated in this Article is subsidiary and incidental to the underlying purpose of this Lease. Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that it has entered into this Lease in order to acquire the Leased Premises for its own personal use and not for the purpose of obtaining the right to convey the leasehold to others. 25.2 "TRANSFER OF THE LEASED PREMISES" DEFINED. The terms "Transfer of the Leased Premises" or "Transfer" as used herein shall include any assignment of all or any part of this Lease (including assignment by operation of law), subletting of all or any part of the Leased Premises or transfer of possession, or granting of the right of possession or contingent right of possession of all or any portion of the Leased Premises including, without limitation, license, concession, mortgage, devise, hypothecation, agency, franchise or management agreement, or suffering any other person (the agents and servants of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the Leased Premises or any portion thereof. If Lessee is a corporation which is not deemed a public corporation, or is an unincorporated association or partnership, or Lessee consists of more than one party, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association, partnership or ownership interest, in the aggregate in excess of twenty-five percent (25%), shall be deemed a Transfer of the Leased Premises; provided, however, that the issuance of up to fifty percent (50%) of the stock (which percentage shall be calculated at the date of such issuance) of Lessee to any investor in exchange for capital investment shall not be deemed a Transfer of the Leased Premises. 25.3 NO TRANSFER WITHOUT CONSENT. Lessee shall not suffer a Transfer of the Leased Premises or any interest therein, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto without the prior written consent of Lessor, and a consent to one Transfer of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer of the Leased Premises. Any Transfer of the Leased Premises without such consent shall (i) be voidable, and (ii) terminate this Lease, in either case, at the option of Lessor. 38. 25.4 WHEN CONSENT GRANTED. -------------------- (a) The consent of Lessor to a Transfer may not be unreasonably withheld, provided that it is agreed to be reasonable for Lessor to consider any of the following reasons, which list is not exclusive, in electing to consent or to deny consent: (i) Financial strength of the proposed transferee is not at least equal to that of Xxxxxx at the time of execution of this Lease; (ii) A proposed transferee whose occupation of the Leased Premises would cause a diminution in the reputation of the Complex or the other businesses located therein; (iii) A proposed transferee whose impact on the common facilities or the other occupants of the Complex would be disadvantageous to the operation and management of the Complex including increasing the cost of operation and management; (iv) A proposed transferee whose use presents a risk of violation of Article 12; (v) A proposed transferee whose occupancy will require a variation in the terms of this Lease (for example, a variation in the use clause) or which otherwise adversely affects any interest of Lessor; (vi) That there be no uncured notices of default under the terms of this Lease; or (vii) A proposed transferee who is or is likely to be, or whose business is or is likely to be, subject to compliance with additional laws or other governmental requirements beyond those to which Lessee or Lessee's business is subject. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall have the right, without the consent of Lessor, but upon prior written notice to Lessor, to assign this Lease to a company incorporated or to be incorporated by Xxxxxx, provided that Lessee owns or beneficially controls all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the company; further provided, however, that in the event that at any time following such assignment, Lessee wishes to sell, mortgage, devise, hypothecate or in any other manner whatsoever transfer any portion of the ownership or beneficial control of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital stock of such company, such transaction shall be deemed to constitute a Transfer and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article 25 with respect to a Transfer of the Premises including, by specific reference, the provisions of Section 25.8. 25.5 PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING CONSENT. ------------------------------- (a) Lessor need not commence its review of any proposed Transfer, or respond to any request by Lessee with respect to such, unless and until it has received from 39. Lessee adequate descriptive information concerning the transferee, the business to be conducted by the transferee, the transferee's financial capacity, and such other information as may reasonably be required in order to form a prudent judgment as to the acceptability of the proposed Transfer, including, without limitation, the following: (i) Reasonable financial information concerning the proposed transferee including the past two years' audited annual Balance Sheets and Profit and Loss statements, certified correct by a Certified Public Accountant; (ii) Banking references of the proposed transferee; (iii) A resume of the business background and experience of the proposed transferee; (iv) At least five (5) business references for the proposed transferee; (v) An executed copy of the instrument by which Xxxxxx proposes to effectuate the Transfer; (vi) A certified statement, including the calculation, of the amount of unamortized cost of Xxxxxx's Tenant Improvements to the Leased Premises. (b) Xxxxxx shall reimburse Lessor as additional rent for Lessor's reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any proposed Transfer of the Leased Premises, whether or not consent is granted. 25.6 RECAPTURE. --------- (a) By written notice to Lessee (the "Termination Notice") within twenty (20) business days following submission to Lessor by Lessee of the information specified in Section 25.5, Lessor (i) may terminate this Lease in the event of an assignment of this Lease or sublet of the entire Leased Premises, or (ii), if such proposed subletting will result in more than 50% of the entire Leased Premises being sublet (in the aggregate with any previous subleases), terminate this Lease as to all or any portion of the Leased. Any termination pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be subject to the rights of any sublessees under any existing subleases provided Xxxxxx has previously consented to the sublease in accordance with the terms of this Lease. In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease as to that portion of the Leased Premises to be sublet, an amendment to this Lease shall be executed whereby the description of the Leased Premises is restated and Lessee's obligations for rent and other charges are reduced in proportion to the reduction in Rentable Area of the Leased Premises caused thereby. (b) In the event that Lessor terminates this Lease or terminates this Lease as to a portion thereof, Lessor may, if it elects, enter into a new lease covering the Premises or a portion thereof with the intended assignee or sublessee on such terms as Lessor and such person may agree or enter into a new lease covering the Premises with any other person; in 40. such event, Xxxxxx shall not be entitled to any portion of the profit if any which Lessor may realize on account of such termination and reletting. From and after the date of such termination of this Lease, the parties shall have no further obligations to each other under this Lease except for matters occurring or obligations arising prior to the date of such termination. 25.7 REASONABLE RESTRICTION. The restrictions on Transfer described in this Article 25 are acknowledged by Lessee to be reasonable for all purposes, including, without limitation, the provisions of California Civil Code (the "Code") Section 1951.4(b)(2). Lessee expressly waives any rights which it might otherwise be deemed to possess pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 1997.040 of the Code, to limit any remedy of Lessor pursuant to Section 1951.2 or 1951.4 of the Code by means of proof that enforcement of a restriction on use of the Leased Premises would be unreasonable. 25.8 EFFECT OF TRANSFER. If Lessor consents to a Transfer, (or if a Transfer occurs without Lessor's consent in accordance with Section 25.4(b)), the following conditions shall apply: (a) Each and every covenant, condition or obligation imposed upon Lessee by this Lease and each and every right, remedy or benefit afforded Lessor by this Lease shall not be impaired or diminished as a result of such Transfer. (b) Lessee shall pay to Lessor on a monthly basis, one hundred percent (100%) of the excess of any sums of money, or other economic consideration received by Lessee from the Transferee in such month (whether or not for a period longer than one month), including higher rent, bonuses, key money, or the like over the aggregate, of (i) the amortized portion of the reasonable expenses actually paid by Lessee to unrelated third parties for brokerage commissions, tenant improvements to the Leased Premises, or design fees incurred as a direct consequence of the Transfer, and, (ii) the total sums which Lessee pays Lessor under this Lease in such month, or the prorated portion thereof if the Leased Premises transferred is less than the entire Leased Premises. The amount so derived shall be paid with Xxxxxx's payment of Minimum Rent. The term "amortized portion" is that portion of the applicable expenses derived by dividing such expenses by the number of months in the original term of the Transfer transaction. (c) No Transfer, whether or not consent of Xxxxxx is required hereunder, shall relieve Xxxxxx of its primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Lessor from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer of the Leased Premises. (d) If Lessor consents to a sublease, such sublease shall not extend beyond the expiration of the Term. (e) No Transfer shall be valid and no transferee shall take possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof unless, within ten (10) days after the execution of the documentary evidence thereof, Xxxxxx shall deliver to Lessor a duly executed duplicate original 41. of the Transfer instrument in form satisfactory to Lessor which provides that (i) the transferee assumes Lessee's obligations for the payment of rent and for the full and faithful observance and performance of the covenants, terms and conditions contained herein, (ii) such transferee will, at Lessor's election, attorn directly to Lessor in the event Lessee's Lease is terminated for any reason on the terms set forth in the instrument of transfer and (iii) such instrument of transfer contains such other assurances as Lessor reasonably deems necessary. 26. ABANDONMENT 26.1 LESSEE TO OCCUPY. Lessee shall not abandon the Leased Premises at any time during the Term, and if Xxxxxx shall abandon, vacate or surrender the Leased Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Xxxxxx and remaining on the Leased Premises thereafter shall, at the option of Lessor, be deemed abandoned. 27. ENTRY BY XXXXXX 27.1 RIGHTS OF LESSOR. Lessee shall permit Lessor and Lessor's agents to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same or for the purpose of maintaining the Building and the Lines, systems and facilities therein, or for the purpose of making repairs, replacements, alterations or additions to any portion of the Building and the Lines, systems and facilities therein, including the erection and maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may be required, or for the purpose of posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions or repairs, or for the purpose of placing upon the Building any usual or ordinary "for sale" signs, without any rebate of Rent and without any liability to Lessee for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises thereby occasioned, and shall permit Lessor, at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of this Lease, to place upon the Leased Premises any usual or ordinary "to let" or "to lease" signs. This Section in no way affects the maintenance obligations of the parties hereto. 28. SIGNS 28.1 Lessee shall not place on the Leased Premises or on the Complex, any exterior signs or advertisements nor any interior signs or advertisements that are visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises including the Atrium, without Lessor's prior written consent, which Lessor reserves the right to withhold for any aesthetic reason in its sole judgment. Lessee's name shall be included on the Building directory in the main lobby of the Building and in applicable Common Areas, in accordance with Lessor's Sign Program, if applicable. The cost of installation and regular maintenance of any such signs approved by Lessor shall be at the sole expense of Lessee. At the termination of this Lease, or any extension thereof, Lessee shall remove all its signs, and all damage caused by such removal shall be repaired at Lessee's expense. 42. 29. DEFAULT 29.1 DEFINITION. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Xxxxxx: (a) Any failure by Lessee to pay the rent or to make any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder when due; (b) The abandonment of the Leased Premises by Xxxxxx in violation of Section 26.1 hereof; (c) Any failure by Xxxxxx to provide executed documents as and when required under the provisions of Section 36.2 and/or Article 37; (d) A failure by Lessee to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee, where such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof by Lessor to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within the ten (10) day period allowed, Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee shall, within such ten (10) day period, commence to cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion; (e) Either (1) the appointment of a receiver (except a receiver appointed at the instance or request of Lessor) to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee, or (2) a general assignment by Xxxxxx for the benefit of creditors, or (3) any action taken or suffered by Lessee under any insolvency or bankruptcy act shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Xxxxxx. In such event, Lessor may, at its option, declare this Lease terminated and forfeited by Xxxxxx, and Lessor shall be entitled to immediate possession of the Leased Premises. Upon such notice of termination, this Lease shall terminate immediately and automatically by its own limitation; (f) Any two (2) failures by Xxxxxx to observe and perform any provision of this Lease during any twelve (12) month period of the Term, as such may be extended, shall constitute, at the option of Lessor, a separate and noncurable default. 30. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT 30.1 Termination and Damages. In the event of any default by Xxxxxx, then in addition to any other remedies available to Lessor herein or at law or in equity, Lessor shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Lessor shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Lessor may recover from Lessee: (a) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus 43. (b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Xxxxxx's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom; and (e) At Lessor's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the applicable law in the state in which the Leased Premises are located. 30.2 Definition. As used in subsections 30.1(a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As used in subsection 30.1(c) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank for the region in which the Complex is located at the time of award plus one percent (1%). 30.3 PERSONAL PROPERTY. (a) In the event of any default by Lessee, Lessor shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to reenter the Leased Premises and remove all persons and property from the Leased Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee. (b) In the event of default, all of Lessee's fixtures, furniture, equipment, improvements, additions, alterations and other personal property shall remain upon the Leased Premises and in that event, and continuing during the length of such default, Lessor shall have the sole right to take exclusive possession of such property and to use it, rent or charge free, until all defaults are cured or, at Lessor's option, at any time during the Term, to require Lessee to forthwith remove such property. The rights stated herein are in addition to Lessor's rights described in Section 21.1. 30.4 RECOVERY OF RENT; RELETTING. --------------------------- (a) In the event of the vacation or abandonment of the Leased Premises by Lessee or in the event that Lessor shall elect to reenter as provided in Section 30.3 above, or shall take possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 30.1 above, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee's right to possession, and Lessor may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, Lessor's right from, time to time, without terminating 44. this Lease, to either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Lessor, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Leased Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiation of Lessor or other legal proceeding granting Lessor or its agent possession to protect Xxxxxx's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Xxxxxx's right to possession. (b) In the event that Lessor shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Lessor from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Lessee to Lessor; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Xxxxxx and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied by the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Lessee hereunder, then Lessee shall pay such deficiency to Lessor immediately upon demand therefor by Xxxxxx. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting. (c) No reentry or taking possession of the Leased Premises or any other action under this Section shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Lessee or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Lessor because of any default by Xxxxxx, Lessor may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default. (d) Lessor has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Lessor may continue Lease in effect after Xxxxxx's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Xxxxxx has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). 30.5 NO WAIVER. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate the damages caused by Xxxxxx's default in this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Xxxxxx's right to recover damages hereunder, nor shall Lessor have any obligation to mitigate damages hereunder. 30.6 CURING DEFAULTS. Should Lessee fail to repair, maintain, keep clean, and/or service the Leased Premises, or any part or contents thereof at any time or times, or perform any other obligations imposed by this Lease or otherwise, then after having given Lessee reasonable notice of the failure or failures and a reasonable opportunity which in no case shall exceed ten (10) days, to remedy the failure, Lessor may enter upon the Leased Premises and perform or contract for the performance of the repair, maintenance, or other Lessee 45. obligation, and Lessee shall pay Lessor for all direct and indirect costs incurred in connection therewith within ten (10) days of receiving a bill therefor from Lessor. 30.7 NO RIGHT TO CURE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 33.1 above, Lessee shall be deemed to have committed a material default and breach of this Lease, without any right on Lessee's part to cure such default and breach, upon the failure by Xxxxxx to observe and perform the provisions of any one or more of the following Sections (or indicated portions thereof) of this Lease: 3.3, 12.1, 15.1 (first sentence), 25.3, 27.1, 36.2, 37.1, and 37.2. 30.8 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The various rights, options, election powers, and remedies of Lessor contained in this Article and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed as cumulative and no one of them exclusive of any others or of any legal or equitable remedy which Lessor might otherwise have in the event of breach or default, and the exercise of one right or remedy by Lessor shall not in any way impair its right to any other right or remedy. 31. BANKRUPTCY 31.1 BANKRUPTCY EVENTS. If at any time during the Term there shall be filed by or against Lessee in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any state, commonwealth, district or territory thereof a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Lessee's property or estate, or if a receiver or trustee takes possession of any of the assets of Lessee, or if the leasehold interest herein passes to a receiver, or if Lessee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petitions for or enters into an arrangement (any of which are referred to herein as a "Bankruptcy Event"), then the following provisions shall apply: (a) Upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event, or if Xxxxxx takes advantage of any insolvency laws of any state, district, commonwealth or territory of the United States, then in any such event Lessor at its option and sole discretion may terminate this Lease at any time by written notice to Lessee (subject, however, to applicable provisions of the applicable bankruptcy federal or state statutes or any insolvency laws during the pendency of any action thereunder involving Lessee as the subject debtor). If this Lease is terminated under this Article, (i) Xxxxxx agrees to immediately surrender and vacate the Premises, waives all statutory or other notice to quit, and agrees that Xxxxxx's obligations under this Lease shall cease from such termination date, and (ii) Lessor may recover possession by process of law or in any other lawful manner. Furthermore, if this Lease terminates under this Section (b), Lessor shall, subject to the Bankruptcy Code, have all rights and remedies against Lessee as provided in this Lease and at law for a default of Lessee in the payment of Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, if any, and/or additional Rent. Lessee hereby acknowledges that it shall have abandoned all of its personal property remaining in the Premises after Xxxxxx surrenders possession of the Premises, and Xxxxxx hereby authorizes Lessor to dispose of such personal property in any manner Lessor deems appropriate without accounting to Lessee or its legal representative for the proceeds thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxx retains the right to assert an administrative claim and a general unsecured claim that result from a breach 46. of this Lease including, without limitation, the cost to remove Xxxxxx's personal property from the Premises and to restore the Premises after Xxxxxx surrenders possession thereof. (b) In all events any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or Lessee as debtor in possession shall, by written notice, either expressly assume or reject this Lease within sixty (60) days following the entry of an "Order for Relief." Failure of the trustee to give notice of such assumption hereof within said period shall conclusively and irrevocably constitute a rejection of this Lease and waiver of any rights to assume or assign this Lease. (c) Lessee or the receiver or trustee shall not have the right to assume this Lease unless (1) Lessee or the receiver or trustee cures any default or provides adequate assurances that defaults will be promptly cured; (2) Lessee or the receiver or trustee compensates Lessor and any other party other then Lessor for all monetary damages and/or any actual pecuniary loss incurred as a result of such default or provides adequate assurances that compensation will be made for such monetary damages and/or actual pecuniary loss; (3) the Bankruptcy Court (or other court of competent jurisdiction) enters an order authorizing the assumption or assignment; (4) the assumption or assignment is not prohibited under applicable law, including, but not limited to, Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (5) Lessee or the receiver or trustee provides to Lessor "adequate assurance of future performance" (as defined herein below) of the Lease. For the purposes of this Section (c), "adequate assurance of future performance" of all obligations under this Lease shall include, but is not limited to: (i) providing financial records which reveal that Xxxxxx's gross receipts in the ordinary course of its business during the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the initiation of the case under the Bankruptcy Code must be at least ten (10) times greater than the next installment of Minimum Rent and other charges due under this Lease; (ii) providing financial records which reveal that both the average and median of Xxxxxx's monthly gross receipts in the ordinary course of business during the six (6) months immediately preceding initiation of the case under the Bankruptcy Code must be at least five (5) times greater than the next installment of Minimum Rent and other charges due under this Lease; (iii) covenanting in writing to Lessor (and obtaining approval from the Bankruptcy Court therefor) that Lessee shall pay in advance to Lessor all Minimum Rent and other sums payable by Lessee hereunder including, but not limited to, its share (as estimated by Lessor) of the cost of all services provided by Lessor (whether directly or through agents or contractors, and whether or not the cost of such services is to be passed through to Lessee) in advance of the performance or provision of such services; (iv) covenanting in writing to Lessor (and obtaining approval from the Bankruptcy Court therefor) that Lessee shall pay Minimum Rent and any other consideration due under the Lease shall first be paid before any other of Lessee's costs of operation of its business in the Premises are paid; 47. (v) covenanting in writing to Lessor (and obtaining approval from the Bankruptcy Court therefor) that Xxxxxx's business shall be conducted in a first class manner, and that no liquidating sales, auctions, or other non-first class business operations shall be conducted on the Premises, and that the use of the Premises as stated in this Lease will remain unchanged, and that the assumption or assignment of this Lease will not violate or adversely affect the rights of other lessees located in the Complex, and that if any of these breaches occur, Lessee or the receiver or trustee will indemnify Lessor against such loss (including costs of suit and attorneys' fees), occasioned by such breach; and (vi) in the event this Lease is for space within a shopping center, Lessee reasonably satisfying any additional requirements imposed under Section 365(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code. (d) Where a default exists under the Lease, the party assuming the Lease may not require Lessor to provide services or supplies incidental to the Lease before its assumption, unless Lessor is compensated under the terms of the Lease for such services and supplies before the assumption of such Lease. (e) In the event Lessee is unable to: (i) cure its defaults, (ii) reimburse Lessor or any other party to this Lease for its monetary damages or actual pecuniary loss to such party resulting from the defaults, (iii) pay the rents due under this Lease or any other payments required of Lessee under this Lease when due, or (iv) meet the criteria and obligations imposed by (i) through (vi) in the previous Section (d), then Lessee hereby agrees in advance that it has not met its burden to provide adequate assurance of future performance and therefore cannot assume this Lease, and this Lease may be immediately terminated by Lessor in accordance with Section (b) above. (f) Lessee or the receiver or trustee may only assign this Lease in accordance with the terms of Article 25 and if adequate assurance of future performance by the assignee is provided, whether or not there has been a default under the Lease. Any consideration paid by any assignee in excess of the rental reserved in the Lease shall be the sole property of, and paid to, Lessor. Upon assignment by Lessee or the receiver or trustee, the obligations of Lessee under this Lease shall be deemed to have been assumed by the assignee, and the assignee shall execute an assumption agreement on request of Xxxxxx. (g) Subsequent to the commencement of a Bankruptcy Event, Lessor shall be entitled to receive as rental for the Premises and the services provided by Lessor no less than the rental and charges reserved in the Lease. (h) It is further stipulated and agreed that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event of the termination of this Lease pursuant this Article, Lessor shall forthwith, upon such termination, to the extent that Lessor is prevented by the Bankruptcy Code from pursuing remedies under this Lease, and/or as provided by state law, become entitled to recover as liquidated damages for the breach of the provisions of this Lease an amount equal to the amount by which the then cash value of the Minimum Rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Lease Term exceeds the then cash rental value of 48. the Premises for such unexpired portion of the Lease Term, unless the statute which governs or shall govern the proceedings in which such damages are to be proved limits or shall limit the amount of such claim capable of so being proved, in which case Lessor shall be entitled to prove as and for liquidated damages an amount equal to that allowed by or under any such statute. When calculating damages hereunder, Lessor shall be entitled to recover the amount of any "free rent" or other concessions extended by Xxxxxx and received by Lessee prior to the premature expiration of this Lease, it being agreed by Lessee that such "free rent" and concessions were contingent upon Lessee fulfilling its obligations for the entire term of this Lease. The provisions of this paragraph shall be without prejudice to (i) Lessor's right to prove in full damages for Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, if any, and additional Rent accrued prior to the termination of this Lease, but not paid, and (ii) any rights given to Lessor by any pertinent statute to prove any amounts allowed thereby. In making any such computation, the then cash rental value of the Premises shall be deemed prima facie to be the rental realized upon any reletting, if such reletting can be accomplished by Lessor within a reasonable time after such termination of this Lease, and the then present cash value of the future rents hereunder reserved to Lessor for the unexpired portion of the Lease Term hereby demised shall be deemed to be such sum, if invested at the then current passbook account rate offered by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. at its main office in San Francisco, as will produce the future rent over the period of time in question. Lessor and Xxxxxx further agree that in making any computation of damages for Lessee holding over after the termination of this Lease, Lessor may claim damages based on the Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, if any, and additional Rent provided herein for the period of such hold over, it being agreed that the Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, if any, and additional Rent constitutes the fair rental value of the Premises during the hold over period. (i) Notwithstanding subsection (i) of this Article, Lessor specifically reserves any and all remedies available to Lessor in Article 30 hereof or at law or in equity in respect of a Bankruptcy Event to the extent such remedies are permitted by law. 32. SURRENDER OF LEASE 32.1 NO MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Xxxxxx, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work as a merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies. 33. LESSOR'S EXCULPATION 33.1 LIMITED LIABILITY. In the event of default, breach, or violation by Lessor (which term includes Lessor's partners, co-venturers, co-tenants, officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents, or representatives) of any of Lessor's obligations under this Lease, Lessor's liability to Lessee shall be limited to its ownership interest in the Leased Premises (or its interest in the Complex, if applicable) or the proceeds of a public sale of such interest pursuant to foreclosure of a judgment against Lessor. Lessor may, at its option, and among its other alternatives, relieve itself of all liability under this Lease by conveying the Leased Premises to 49. Lessee. Notwithstanding any such conveyance, Xxxxxx's leasehold and ownership interest shall not merge. 33.2 NO RECOURSE. Lessor (as defined in Section 33.1) shall not be personally liable for any deficiency beyond its interest in the Leased Premises. All personal liability of all trustees, their employees, agents or representatives, is expressly waived by Xxxxxx. 34. ATTORNEYS' FEES 34.1 ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS, ETC. Xxxxxx hereby agrees to pay, as additional rent, all attorneys' fees and disbursements, and all other court costs or expenses of legal proceedings or other legal services which Lessor may incur or pay out by reason of, or in connection with: (a) Any appearance by Xxxxxx (or any officer, partner, or employee of Lessor) as a witness or otherwise in any action or proceeding whatsoever involving or affecting Lessee or this Lease except as otherwise covered by Section 34.3; (b) Any assignment, sublease, or leasehold mortgage proposed or granted by Xxxxxx (whether or not permitted under this Lease), and all negotiations with respect thereto; and (c) Any alteration of the Leased Premises by Xxxxxx, and all negotiations with respect thereto. 34.2 SURVIVAL. Lessee's obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or any other termination of this Lease. This Section is intended to supplement (and not to limit) other provisions of this Lease pertaining to indemnities and/or attorneys' fees. 34.3 ATTORNEYS' FEES. If there is any legal action or proceeding (including arbitration) between Lessor and Lessee arising out of any default by Lessee or Lessor in the observance or performance of any obligation under this Lease or to enforce this Lease or to protect or establish any right or remedy under this Lease, the unsuccessful party to such action or proceeding shall pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred by such prevailing party in such action or proceeding and in any appeal in connection therewith. If such prevailing party recovers a judgment in any such action or proceeding (including arbitration) or appeal thereon, such costs, expenses and attorneys' fees and disbursements shall be included in and as a part of such judgment. 35. NOTICES 35.1 WRITING. All notices, demands and requests required or permitted to be given or made under any provision of this Lease shall be in writing and shall be given or made by (i) personal service, or (ii) by telephone facsimile upon which date and time are imprinted in the course of transmission to the number indicated in Section 1.2, or (iii) by mailing same by 50. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) by reputable courier which provides written evidence of delivery, addressed to the respective party at the address set forth in Section 1.2 of this Lease or at such other address as the party may from time to time designate, by a written notice sent to the other in the manner aforesaid. 35.2 EFFECTIVE DATE. Any such notice, demand or request ("notice") shall be deemed given or made on the third day after the date so mailed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice given by personal delivery to the party at its address as aforesaid shall be deemed given on the day on which delivery is made. Notice given by a reputable courier service which provides written evidence of delivery shall be deemed given on the business day immediately following deposit with the courier service. 35.3 AUTHORIZATION TO RECEIVE. Each person and/or entity whose signature is affixed to this Lease as Lessee or as guarantor of Xxxxxx's obligations ("obligor") designates such other obligor its agent for the purpose of receiving any notice pertaining to this Lease or service of process in the event of any litigation or dispute arising from any obligation imposed by this Lease. 36. SUBORDINATION 36.1 PRIORITY OF ENCUMBRANCES. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to any and all ground leases and the lien of any and all mortgages and deeds of trust securing any amount or amounts whatsoever which may now exist or hereafter be placed on or against or encumbering the Building or on or against or encumbering Lessor's interest or estate therein ("Superior Leases and Mortgages"), all without the necessity of having further instruments executed by Tenant to effect such subordination; provided however, (i) with respect to that certain deed of trust encumbering the Building of record as of the date of this Lease in favor of XXXXX FARGO (the "Bank"), Lessor covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts (without any requirement to pay any fees to said lender or to initiate litigation) to cause the Bank to execute and deliver on or before the Delivery Date a non-disturbance agreement on the current form used by Bank in favor of Xxxxxx, and (ii) with respect to any Superior Leases and Mortgages encumbering the Building after the date of this Lease, Lessee shall execute a subordination agreement, provided that the subordination of this Lease shall be conditioned upon such Xxxxxx's mortgagee executing a non-disturbance agreement in favor of Lessee on the current form used by such lender. In the event of a foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust or of any other action or proceeding for the enforcement thereof, or of any sale thereunder or in the event of a termination of any such ground lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or extinguished, nor shall the rights and possession of Lessee hereunder be disturbed, if no default then exists under this Lease, and Lessee shall attorn to the person who acquires Xxxxxx's interest hereunder through any such mortgage or deed of trust. 36.2 EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS. Xxxxxx agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be, and failing to do so within ten (10) days after written 51. demand, does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Lessor-as Xxxxxx's attorney-in-fact and in Xxxxxx's name, place and stead, to do so. It is understood by all parties that Xxxxxx's failure to execute the subordination documents referred to above may cause Lessor serious financial damage by causing the failure of a financing or sale transaction. 36.3 ATTORNMENT. Lessee shall attorn to any purchaser at any foreclosure sale, or to any grantee or transferee designated in any Deed given in lieu of foreclosure. 37. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES 37.1 EXECUTION BY XXXXXX. Within ten (10) days of request therefor by Lessor, Lessee shall execute a written statement acknowledging the commencement and termination dates of this Lease, that it is in full force and effect, has not been modified (or if it has, stating such modifications) and providing any other pertinent information as Lessor or its agent might reasonably request. Failure to comply with this Article shall be a material breach of this Lease by Xxxxxx giving Lessor all rights and remedies under Article 30 hereof, as well as a right to damages caused by the loss of a loan or sale which may result from such failure by Xxxxxx. 37.2 FINANCING, SALE OR TRANSFER. If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, sell, ground lease or otherwise transfer the Leased Premises, or any part thereof, or the Building, Lessee hereby agrees, within ten (10) days of request therefor by Lessor, to deliver to any lender or to any prospective buyer, ground lessor or other transferee designated by Lessor such financial statements of Lessee, its Guarantor and its parent company, if any, as may be reasonably required by such party. Such statements shall include the past three (3) years' financial statements of Xxxxxx. All such financial statements shall be received by Lessor in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth. 38. WAIVER 38.1 EFFECT OF WAIVER. The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any Lease provision shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such Lease provision or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition therein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Xxxxxx of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. 39. HOLDING OVER 39.1 MONTH-TO-MONTH TENANCY ON ACCEPTANCE. If Xxxxxx should remain in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Term and without executing a new Lease, then, upon acceptance of rent by Lessor, such holding over shall be construed as a tenancy from month-to-month, subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease as existed during the last month of the Term hereof, so far as applicable to a month to 52. month tenancy, except that the Minimum Rent shall be equal to twice the Minimum Rent payable immediately prior to the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease. 40. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 40.1 BINDING EFFECT. The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all of the parties hereto; and all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder. 41. TIME 41.1 TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of this Lease with respect to each and every article, section and subsection hereof. 42. EFFECT OF XXXXXX'S CONVEYANCE 42.1 RELEASE OF LESSOR. If, during the Term, Lessor shall sell its interest in the Building or Complex of which the Leased Premises form a part, or the Leased Premises, then from and after the effective date of the sale or conveyance, Lessor shall be released and discharged from any and all obligations and responsibilities under this Lease, except those already accrued. 43. COMMON AREAS 43.1 Lessor shall, in Lessor's sole discretion, maintain the Common Areas (subject to reimbursement pursuant to Article 8 hereof), establish and enforce reasonable rules and regulations concerning such areas, close any of the Common Areas to whatever extent required in the opinion of Lessor's counsel to prevent a dedication of any of the Common Areas or the accrual of any rights of any person or of the public to the Common Areas, close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes, and make changes to the Common Areas including, without limitation, changes in the location of driveways, corridors, entrances, exits, vehicular parking spaces, parking area, the designation of areas for the exclusive use of others, the direction of the flow of traffic or construction of additional buildings thereupon. Lessor may provide security for the Common Areas but is not obligated to do so. 44. TRANSFER OF SECURITY 44.1 TRANSFER TO PURCHASER. If any security be given by Xxxxxx to secure the faithful performance of all or any of the covenants of this Lease on the part of Lessee, Lessor may transfer and/or deliver the security, as such, to the purchaser of the reversion, in the event that the reversion be sold, and thereupon Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto. 53. 45. LATE CHARGES 45.1 LATE PAYMENT BY XXXXXX. Xxxxxx acknowledges that late payment by Xxxxxx to Lessor of rent or any other payment due hereunder will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Lessor by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the Leased Premises. Therefore, if any installment of rent, or any other payment due hereunder from Xxxxxx is not received by Lessor when due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an additional sum of ten percent (10%) of such rent or other charge as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Xxxxxx. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Xxxxxx from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Lessor. 46. CORPORATE AUTHORITY 46.1 AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE. If Lessee is a corporation, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation in accordance with a duly adopted resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation in accordance with a the Bylaws of said corporation, and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation in accordance with its terms. Further, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease, deliver to Lessor a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation authorizing or ratifying the execution of this Lease. 47. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION 47.1 NOTICE AND RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULT. Xxxxxx agrees to give any mortgage(s) and/or trust deed holders, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Lessor, provided that prior to such notice Lessee has been notified, in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise), of the address of such mortgagees and/or trust deed holders. Lessee further agrees that if Lessor shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the mortgagees and/or trust deed holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if, within such thirty (30) days, any mortgagee and/or trust deed holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued. 54. 48. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 48.1 CAPTIONS. The captions of this Lease are for convenience only and are not a part of this Lease and do not in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of this Lease. 48.2 NUMBER AND GENDER. Whenever the singular number is used in this Lease and when required by the context, the same shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and the word "person" shall include corporation, firm or association. If there be more than one Lessee, the obligations imposed under this Lease upon Lessee shall be joint and several. 48.3 MODIFICATIONS. This instrument contains all of the agreements, conditions and representations made between the parties to this Lease and may not be modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by all of the parties to this Lease. 48.4 PAYMENTS. Except as otherwise expressly stated, each payment required to be made by Lessee shall be in addition to and not in substitution for other payments to be made by Lessee. 48.5 SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof. 48.6 NO OFFER. The preparation and submission of a draft of this Lease by either party to the other shall not constitute an offer, not shall either party be bound to any terms of this Lease or the entirety of the Lease itself until both parties have fully executed a final document and an original signature document has been received by both parties. Until such time as described in the previous sentence, either party is free to terminate negotiations with no obligation to the other. 48.7 DISPUTED SUMS. Under the terms of this Lease numerous charges are and may be due from Lessee to Lessor including, without limitation, Operating Costs, Real Estate Taxes and other items of a similar nature including advances made by Lessor in respect of Xxxxxx's default at Lessor's option. In the event that at any time during the Term there is a bona fide dispute between the parties as to the amount due for any of such charges claimed by Lessor to be due, the amount demanded by Lessor shall be paid by Xxxxxx until the resolution of the dispute between the parties or by litigation. Failure by Xxxxxx to pay the disputed sums until resolution shall constitute a default under the terms of the Lease. 48.8 XXXXXX'S REMEDIES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if any provision of this Lease expressly or impliedly obligates Lessor not to unreasonably withhold its consent or approval, an action for declaratory judgment or specific performance will be Xxxxxx's sole right and remedy in any dispute as to whether Lessor has breached such obligation. 55. 48.9 Light, Air and View. No diminution of light, air, or view by any structure which may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Lessor) shall entitle Lessee to any reduction of Rent, result in any liability of Lessor to Lessee, or in any other way affect this Lease or Xxxxxx's obligations hereunder. 48.10 PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION. Lessee shall establish and maintain during the Term hereof a program to encourage maximum use of public transportation by personnel of Lessee employed on the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, the distribution to such employees of written materials explaining the convenience and availability of public transportation facilities adjacent or proximate to the Complex, staggering working hours of employees, and encouraging use of such facilities, all at Lessee's sole reasonable cost and expense. Lessee shall comply with all requirements of any local transportation management ordinance. 48.11 RULES AND REGULATIONS. Xxxxxx agrees to comply with all reasonable rules and regulations adopted and promulgated by Lessor and applicable to all tenants in the Complex for the lawful, orderly, clean, safe, aesthetic, quiet, and beneficial use, operation, maintenance, management, and enjoyment of the Complex. Lessor shall have no liability for violation by any other lessee in the Complex of any rules or regulations, nor shall such violation or waiver thereof excuse Lessee from compliance. The initial rules and regulations concerning the Complex are attached hereto as Exhibit X. Xxxxxx reserves the right to make additional rules affecting the Complex throughout the Term hereof. All delivery and dispatch of supplies, fixtures, equipment and furniture shall be by means and during hours established by Lessor. Lessee shall not at any time park its trucks or other delivery vehicles in the Common Areas, except in such parts thereof as from time to time designated by Lessor. 48.12 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. Should Lessee consist of more than one person or entity, they shall be jointly and severally liable on this Lease. 48.13 SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. All obligations of Lessee which may accrue or arise during the Term or as a result of any act or omission of Xxxxxx during said Term shall, to the extent they have not been fully performed, satisfied or discharged, survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. 48.14 REAL ESTATE BROKERS. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to the other party that it has not authorized or employed, or acted by implication to authorize or employ, any real estate broker or salesman to act for it in connection with this Lease other than the real estate brokers specified in Section 1.10. Lessor shall pay the commission due Lessor's broker and Xxxxxx's broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Lessor and Xxxxxx's broker. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx shall each indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims by any real estate broker or salesman whom the indemnifying party authorized or employed, or acted by implication to authorize or employ, to act for the indemnifying party in connection with this Lease. 48.15 NONLIABILITY OF LESSOR FOR APPROVALS. Except as may otherwise be expressly stated by a provision of this Lease, and only to the extent so stated, the consent or approval, 56. whether express or implied, or the act, failure to act or failure to object, by Lessor in connection with any plan, specification, drawing, proposal, request, act, omission, notice or communication (collectively, "act") by or for, or prepared by or for, Lessee, shall not create any responsibility or liability on the part of Lessor, and shall not constitute a representation by Lessor, with respect to the completeness, sufficiency, efficacy, propriety, quality or legality of such act. 48.16 INTEREST ON PAST DUE AMOUNTS. If any sum due Lessor from Lessee is not received by Lessor within five (5) calendar days after the date such sum is due and payable, such sum shall bear interest from the due date until paid by Lessee at the rate of two percent (2%) above the Prime Rate (as herein defined), not to exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by law in the state where the Leased Premises are located, and such interest shall be deemed to be additional rent. "Prime Rate" means the Prime Rate of interest as quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the date such sum was due and payable. 48.17 CONVERSION TO A LIMITED LIABILITY ENTITY. (a) No Conversion Without Consent. Anything to the contrary in this ----------------------------- Lease notwithstanding, if Lessee is currently a partnership (either general or limited), joint venture, cotenancy, joint tenancy or an individual, Lessee may not convert (the "Conversion") the Lessee entity or person into any type of entity which possesses the characteristic of limited liability such as, by way of example only, a corporation, a limited liability company, limited liability partnership or limited liability limited partnership (singularly and collectively, "Limited Entity"), without the consent of Lessor, which consent, subject to fulfillment of the conditions below, shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(v) Lessee shall reimburse Lessor within ten (10) days following Xxxxxx's written demand therefor for any and all reasonable costs and expenses that may be incurred by Lessor in connection with the Conversion including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees. (c) Nothing in this Section 48.17 shall modify or reduce the obligations of Lessee to perform under this Lease. 48.18 COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 49. WAIVER OF CALIFORNIA CODE SECTIONS 49.1 WAIVER BY XXXXXX. In this Lease, numerous provisions have been negotiated by the parties, some of which provisions are covered by statute.

Therefore, Lessee waives (for itself and all persons claiming under Lessee) the provisions of Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) with respect to the destruction of the Leased Premises; Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942 with respect to Lessor's repair duties and Lessee's right to repair; Civil Code Section 1995.310, granting to a tenant all remedies provided by law for breach of contract (including, without limitation, the right to contract damages and the right to terminate the lease) in the event that the landlord unreasonably withholds consent to a transfer in violation of the tenant's rights under the lease; Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Leased Premises by condemnation as herein defined; and any right of redemption or reinstatement of Lessee under any present or future case law or statutory provision (including Code of Civil Procedure Sections 473 and 1179 and Civil Code Section 3275) in the event Lessee is dispossessed from the Leased Premises for any reason. This waiver applies to future statutes enacted in addition to or in substitution for the statutes specified herein. 50. SHUTTLE SERVICE 50.1 Lessor shall maintain for the benefit of employees and invitees of the Building, a van shuttle service which shall operate Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with not less than one van vehicle operating throughout the day and two vehicles operating during peak commute hours of 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The cost of the shuttle service shall be included in Operating Costs. Lessor may terminate the shuttle service if the City of San Francisco is, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, then providing adequate public transportation to the area of the Building and no longer requires that Lessor provide such shuttle service. 58.
